heartstrings

This is what I am currently working on. I'm trying to do the technique where the same color makes one block but i'm not sure if that was the best idea. I don't think I have enough scraps to do that.
I guess I will keep going till I run out. and I used linen for the sashing because I had soooo much of it. not sure that was the right choice but I'm trying not to buy more fabric so i just went with what I had.  Anywho, I will continue to post the progress.

    Oh how pretty! Mine all go together. :o) I like how you have separated the colors. :o) I keep going back and forth on creating another string quilt (still not done with the current one) for Christmas, with Christmas colors and fabrics. :o)
    Hope you are having a nice weekend.

Your First Sewing Machine!

People making masks as well as others picking up new hobbies due to quarantine and with Christmas around the corner this might even be on your list! So are you looking to buy a sewing machine? If you are in the market for a new Sewing machine you might be a bit perplexed with all the different features. In fact sewing machines range from $100 up to..well there are some in the $12,000 range! So I'm going to keep it simple and share 3 key features to look for in your sewing machine investment. 1. Needle up/down feature : This means when you are sewing a project and you stop you can indicate that you want the needle down into the project so your fabric stays in place when you need to pivot or make adjustments to the fabric. 2. Automatic needle threader : this saves time (and frustration) by threading the needle for you. 3. Needle position right to left: This allows you to stitch
